The public has become acutely aware that there is a large quantity
of asbestos in the environment - it is used to insulate homes,
schools and other public buildings, in car brakes, hair-dryers, and
in many other applications. Asbestos and other fibrous inorganic
materials are used so extensively because of their unique physical
and chemical properties, which partly result from their fibrous
form. This form also accounts for the hazards they pose to health.
This comprehensive sourcebook introduces inorganic fibrous
materials, both synthetic and naturally occurring. It provides an
accessible general description of the fibrous state, the range of
compounds that can adopt this form, and their unique
characteristics. The author also assesses their use in industry and
evaluates their safety.
